我的视觉艺术作品主要是绘画和版画，探讨和语言相关的线条、形状和模式。它们作为语言“建筑”和抽象“领地”被系统地重构。我选择手写，因为它是一种不固定的绘画实践，以此揭示阅读和观看之间可进行互换的关联。
My visual works are drawing and printmaking investigations into the lines, shapes, and patterns of language. These works are methodically reconstructed as language architectures and territories of abstraction. I choose handwriting as an unfixed drawing practice to show the interchangeable links between reading and seeing.

通过作品，语言的形象被展现为可延展的不固定主体，通过层层叠叠、打结的和缠结的文本，栖息在每一个画面上。随着文字穿越画面的动作演变成每件作品上重叠的纱幕和屏幕。
Through these works, the image of language is posed as a malleable unfixed subject that inhabits each picture plane, projecting and passing through layers of knotting and tangling text. With text traversing the picture plane, it is this action which evolves into each work’s overlapping scrim and screen.
